Forums for January
January 1--Taking Stock. New Year’s Day is a time for taking stock of oneself. The Catholic Church has the sacrament of confession to accomplish this. Does UU have anything similar? Do you regularly take stock of your own life? What does taking stock accomplish?
January 8--Communication. President Peter Morales of the UUA says “In our congregations and in our movement, relationships are sacred and essential. Our relationships are created and sustained by our communication. Our movement is only as strong and vital as our relationships. When communication breaks down, the results are not merely annoying. When communication breaks down, we falter and “One thing has become increasingly clear to me as your president: If we are to make real the awesome potential of our religion, we simply must get better at communicating among ourselves. Everything we care about depends on it.” Does UUFS do an adequate job of communicating?
January 15--Religious Freedom. What is religious freedom? Does it entitle some people to special protection under the law, and if so, which people?
January 22--Compassion. What have been your most profound experiences of compassion and what does compassion mean to you? What is the role of sympathy and compassion in how social justice is understood at UUFS and by you personally? In what ways do you see sympathy and compassion as either motivating or replacing work for social justice?
